Two of my kids, John and Cosette, have been diligently working on their activity cards for our library’s summer reading program. Cosette has finished hers which qualifies her to attend a special party in a few weeks. John is also hoping to finish his.
As part of this activity card, John and Cosette each wrote poems to display at the library. I thought they turned out really nice, and wanted to display them here on my blog as well!
The first poem is written by John, who will be in 7th grade of A Beka Academy DVD Homeschool, program 1, this fall:
The Bumbly Boo’s World
In the land of the Bumbly Boo,
There are no regular people like you.
However, there are figures made by pencils
And People made from stencils.
Animals also inhabit this legendary place.
They are not normal; they are made of lace.
The plants are made of wire,
And glue replaces all of the mire.
This land is really just a paper that has been drawn upon.
(You can see pictures in at least one lawn.)
The sky is made of pictures with the color blue,
In the Land of the Bumbly Boo.
This second poem is written by Cosette, who will be in the 3rd grade of A Beka Academy DVD Homeschool, program 1, this fall:
What is pink? A rose is pink by a fountain’s brink.
What is blue? My lace is blue on my shoe.
What is red? My pillow is red on my bed.
What is white? My bed is white through day and night.
What is green? A bird is green that I have seen.
What is tan? The label is tan on the can.
I’m glad I don’t just see black and white.
All of the colors make the earth bright.
Great poems! Hope the party at the Library is fun. Love, Grandma
Those are great poems! They did a great job!
Boy, your children are really creative writers! I’d be proud of these, too.
Excellent. Very clever poems, children.
